Abstract: The Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN) is a resource for employers seeking to recruit, hire, retain, and advance qualified employees with disabilities. Building on earlier Rapid Cycle Research relating to employer outreach and people with disabilities, there are two issues not previously addressed and worth further examination under the next phase of the EARN RCR process. This project will query individuals with disabilities about their impressions of messaging from organizations, specifically related to career pages on the company website(s).
